In this week’s episode of Vampire Diaries we find out that our beloved Stefan still remembers nothing – including the fact that he’s a vampire.

The worse part? He doesn’t even remember his love for Elena. Also, to add to the misery for all of us on Team Stefan, his past vampy guilt has gone away – he’s craving blood, and the bags just aren’t doing it for him. He wants to kill.

Damon is all about the emotionless, ripperesque Stefan making his comeback, but Elena isn’t feeling it. The next thing we know, Stefan’s in the bar bathroom seconds away from killing the cute waitress – luckily Damon steps in and stops him. Phew!

Caroline is still semi-flirty with hottie college guy, Jessie, but I’m starting to guess her motives. Tyler and her are still on the rocks.

The two go on a study date (in a cemetery), and before we know it he goes in for the kill – see what I did there? But no, in all seriousness, they’re cute together, no matter how much we love Tyler.

Matt, who is finally his ‘normal’ self again (aka – he’s not Gregor, the traveler), tries to figure out why he keeps losing extended periods of time – he’s set up cameras all over his house.

He takes a nap and when he wakes he finds a large cut on his hand – cue the videotape. Matt learns that he in fact his possessed by Gregor

“I am the passenger inside of you,” Gregor tells the camera. “I know you have many questions, but all you need to know is your friends will come looking for this blade, protect it at all costs – or this will be your throat [he cuts his hand].”

Bonnie, who is still stuck in the “in-between”, is not ready to tell everyone else she’s not coming back. Jeremy urges her to come clean. This can’t go on forever, he adds.

With Bonnie unwilling to budge, Jeremy takes matters into his own hands. He explains to Damon that magic finds a balance. “I’m not supposed to be here,” he says. Damon finally gets it – Bonnie’s gone, and never coming back.

Elena, desperate for the old Stefan to return, sets out on a memory scavenger hunt by taking him back to the scene of their first meeting. Sadly it doesn’t work, although we are starting to see some old feelings for Stefan creep up in Elena – finally, CW – you get it! We want Stelena!

Stefan starts to clue in on the fact that he and Elena used to be more than just friends – she admits that becoming a vampire changed her, and was also the reason they broke up.

The old pair spends the rest of the day together and Stefan admits being with her calms his scary killer tendencies. The moment is perfect: they’re by a lake, the light is shining on their beautiful vampire skin, Stefan goes 90, Elena leans in andddd – nothing.

“I’m with Damon,” she admits. “And just like that, the hunger returns,” Stefan responds – and with that confession, Stefan vanishes.

Elena calls Damon in a panic – the graveyard is packed with people, people who ripper Stefan would love to sink his teeth into, and oh does he choose wisely.

Caroline finds Stefan, but she underestimates the ripper’s return. The next thing we see, Caroline’s new boy is Stefan’s first dinner, welcoming him back into the world of a predator.

Right before Stefan goes in for the last bite – Caroline is able to stop him. “I have to get out of here,” he says.

In the next scene, we find Stefan in the Salvatore home packing his belongings. He tells Damon and Elena he’s leaving, and there’s nothing they can say to stop him.

As if this isn’t enough for Elena to take, Damon lays another one on her – Bonnie’s dead. So yeah, that’s a game changer.

“I can’t keep doing this Damon – Stefan’s gone and Bonnie’s dead,” she cries, and no can console her.

In the next scene, the group gathers for Bonnie’s funeral. Caroline and Elena are a wreck – but then again their best friend has been dead for months, and they had no idea.

I watched you have the summer of your life, Bonnie says (speaking through Jeremy). She addresses each one in the group personally, making them all laugh and cry, but more importantly convincing them that she’s still going to be here.

And then, in the midst of all the tears, something amazing happens – Tyler returns.

In the final scene, the creepy biology professor from the beginning of this season returns. He has Jessie, who is finally coming out of his oblivion, in a laboratory.
